Tu-160 ''The White Swan'' (Blackjack). Jet bomber for nuclear missiles/bombs I guess. Made in Soviet Union in the 1980's by atheist socialists. :)

No /pol shit here please. That means no driveby shitposting to carry on your feuds from other debates. Keep all of that nonsense contained to the numerous other threads. No LIBERAL/ALT RIGHT conversations that can be handled in the numerous other threads. This is about geopolitical fuck-fuck games causing proxy wars due to the military industrial complex. Not the disinformation and brainwashing used to instigate those events. We are looking at the end results of mind manipulation.
Thanks.
 
The greatest military invention of the Cold War has to be Project Pluto, an american nuclear-powered cruise missile that was basically supposed to be an open nuclear reactor that would propel a large number of thermonuclear warheads to Mach 3 at low altitudes, cruising over the land to deliver the warheads and contaminate the land.
Oh, and destroy everything in its path with the shockwave from travelling at Mach 3.

Dude I live next door to Russia. The "Big Thing In The East" is very much still there, whatever you want to call it.

Comparison of the Russian Armata to the Leopard 2.

I enlisted just as those uniforms were phased out. So I ended up with Vietnam, Desert Storm, and OIF uniforms. The Velcro on the ACU's is a bit loud and annoying but the pockets are nice.

I'm probably biased, but I really like our uniforms
The ladz above are wearing the regular uniform + outdoorsy jacket. The officer in front of them is wearing the lighter shirt afaik, which I prefer.
Those pants are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn. I had no idea pants could be *so actively comfortable*, but they fucking are. Just amazing pants!

Not bad. The color scheme is unique. Seems to have more tan.


New Delhi (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in India on Thursday looking to tie up billions of dollars in arms deals with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, likely irking the US, China and Pakistan in one fell swoop.

The Kremlin said before the two-day visit that the "key feature" would be the signing of a $5-billion deal for the advanced S-400 air defence system, despite US sanctions against countries buying Russian defence hardware.

India will ask the United States for a special waiver for the purchase -- as discussed by their defence and foreign ministers in New Delhi last month -- but Washington has signalled there is no guarantee it will accede.

The US is in a difficult position as it seeks to contain China through better ties with India, which like Washington has been unnerved by Beijing's growing assertiveness.

Washington and New Delhi announced plans last month for joint military drills in 2019, and agreed on the exchange of sensitive military information.

But Russia remains India's main arms supplier, and a string of new deals with the Asian giant would be a major win for Moscow -- and a big snub to the US.

Putin and Modi, who appear to enjoy a personal rapport, are also likely to discuss a deal for four Krivak-class frigates worth $2 billion and 200 light utility Ka-226 helicopters pegged at $1 billion.

India and Russia have already concluded an Inter-Governmental Agreement for the choppers, 60 of which would be built in Russia and the rest in India.

"Russia is a time-tested friend. I am really glad some spine has finally been shown by India," R.R. Subramanian, a Delhi-based strategic affairs analyst, told AFP.

"It's about time we... showed that we are not going to be pushed around by Washington."

Experts say India needs the sophisticated S-400 system to fill critical gaps in its defence capabilities, in view of China's rise and perceived threats from Pakistan, against whom India has fought three wars.

Indian Air Force Chief Birender Singh Dhanoa said on Wednesday that the S-400 and the 36 Rafale fighter jets purchased from France -- a 2016 deal mired in political controversy -- represent a "booster dose" for the country.

- Boldly go -

Putin, 65, and Modi, 68, are also set to discuss a possible second Russian-built nuclear power plant in India. Moscow is currently expanding India's biggest nuclear power plant in Kudankulam.

Also on the agenda is Russian training for Indian astronauts as New Delhi aims to launch its first crewed space mission in 2022.

Rakesh Sharma, the only Indian to travel in space, did so on a Soviet spacecraft in 1984.

But military kit is the main focus.

India is the world's biggest arms importer and is undergoing a $100-billion upgrade of its ageing hardware, much of it of Soviet vintage like MiG jets that regularly crash in the Indian countryside.

Russia is still India's biggest arms supplier, and the two have had warm ties since Stalin died in 1953.

The US is now number two, though, supplying the Indian military with advanced hardware like Apache attack helicopters and negotiating the sale of armed drones.

Russia-India trade has slipped below $10 billion since 2014, as Modi has cultivated closer diplomatic and economic ties with Washington, while Russia has courted Pakistan and China.

But ties received a boost last year when Modi and Putin held a fruitful annual bilateral summit, followed by meetings in Astana and at the G20 in Germany. They also met in Sochi this year.

On the strategic front, Russia helped India become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation this year and has backed New Delhi's long-held demand for a permanent UN Security Council seat.

Moscow is also pushing for India's entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group of countries controling access to nuclear technology despite atomic-armed India not signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Some info about Finnish camos.

http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=Finland

Used to wear this when I was in. There were different versions, darker and lighter jackets and trousers. You could mix and match like you're in a fashion show or whatever. This pattern was introduced in -62 so very old, I was in the system in the late 90's. It already felt old then, almost like you start hearing a 60's psychedelic music when you're wearing it and see it, or Shaft's theme song or something. That belt is good, you can buy similar ones online. Someone stole my belt when I was in the swimming hall, fucker.

The 'vacation suit' was called 'the pickle salad'. It wasn't erotic at all. I didn't have that beret, it was introduced just after our 'class'. It reminded me of Monica Lewinsky so I was happy I didn't have to wear it and identify as the dick-sucker of a POTUS. :D

The grey suit was better and I sometimes wore it.

Always thought the winter camos look more badass. Ours was fully white. Now they have these.

Kidnapping of foreign leaders (Lebanon). Giving the death penalty to women rights activists. 9/11. They're trying to literally cut Qatar off and they’re now torturing, murdering, and dismembering journalists living in foreign countries.

Saudi Arabia and UAE are still committing wholesale slaughter in Yemen, are forcefully starving civilians in an act considered barbaric even by pre-WW1 standards, have made medical conditions deteriorate in the country so much that diseases eradicated during the 19th century have made a comeback, have completely taken over an island belonging to another country with no Western media coverage, all with the friendly support of the "bastions of freedom" America and UK.

And this is all without mentioning the slavery both countries practice, the support of radical Islam globally, violating the human rights of women, the racist nature of their countries where citizenship is only granted by blood, and the basic premise that they're countries ruled by Kings.

It was "pickle relish" actually, lol. Close enough. We had lots of military slang words for army food etc. Macaroni casserole was called the "barbed wire obstacle" etc. :D I still remember some of those. Food was pretty 'light', in that it really didn't fill you up, hungry most of the time there and lost a bunch of weight although I wasn't exactly fat when I went in.

Yea that journalist gone 'missing' in SA is bad stuff, heard he was tortured really bad, like skinned alive etc. Bad stuff. Saudis are some really bad folks.
